<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225697' first='Miles' last='Keener'] | Williamston | 2026 | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17983188/655141b6da50b80a305b5666">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keener shows the ability to rush the passer. <strong>Williamston </strong>liked to run delayed blitzes with Keener to use his ability to burst through gaps. Keener shows good instincts not only when it comes to rushing the passer but to run down ball carriers. He is a physical player who will deliver big hits. Keener is a good athlete who has the ability to cover receivers down field. Keener does a good job of working through traffic to get to ball carriers. He has good lateral movement and helps him to get to the ball carrier quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='591060' first='Logan' last='Doerr'] | Mason | 2025 | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/13605942/652d777c3864ec04ac845f4b">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love that Doerr will take on blocks very aggressively. He shows very good agility and can not only defeat blocks with power and strength but by maneuvering around them. Doerr has good top end speed and will hustle to track down ball carriers down field. Doerr is a very hard hitter who makes opposing ball carriers really feel it when he hits them. Like Keener, Doerr moves well laterally and that plays a key part in him being able to make plays consistently. I love that Doerr has no fear when it comes to taking on multiple blockers. Doerr is an outstanding linebacker overall and played really good football this past year for <strong>Mason.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225702' first='Dawson' last='Dabler'] | Haslett | 2026 | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18146428/653feb242ab1070a883cae52">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like Doerr, I love that Dabler has no fear when it comes to taking on blockers. Like the other two guys I talked about, Dabler is physical and not afraid to work through traffic and make hard hits. Dabler has good burst and shows the ability to rush the passer. He has very good strength and shows no problem taking on blocks from opposing offensive linemen. Dabler is a very good linebacker who will play a key part in the success of the <strong>Haslett </strong>team next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='567889' first='Cooper' last='Parks'] | Grand Ledge | 2026 | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16736674/653d6e8b0c53e803d487710a">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parks is very quick to recognize where run plays are going. He has good pursuit and is a good tackler as well. Parks is a physical player who will deliver big hits on kick return plays. Parks shows the ability to blitz as well and has the burst to close on the quarterback in hurry. Parks plays fast and like other guys I have mentioned, he works through traffic well. Parks is a good athlete who shows good strength to take on blockers. Parks is good on kickoff coverage as well and does a good job of getting down the field and getting to the ball carrier in a hurry. I like that <strong>Grand Ledge </strong>will blitz him off the edge so he can get in the back field and read the play will a clear view. Like Doerr, I love that Parks will attack multiple blockers at once. Parks does a good job of playing fearless and always looking to make a play for his team. I like Parks' game and he will make an impact next year for this <strong>Grand Ledge</strong> team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
